@JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand I am an academic. This is 1000% true. We *love* when people actually read and use our stuff. You will be brightening our day if you do this. I still remember the handful of times this has happened to me. Please!

@JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand Yes, this too! We're socialized by academic training to spread knowledge. @orionkidder @JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand This! I have almost quit doing 'academic' publishing for this very reason. IMO muxh of the whole 'academic' publishing thing is a predatory and exploitative racket that's been legitimized by outdated ivory-tower views about what constitutes the only types of 'impactful' research/outreach in the world -- especially when looking at hiring/tenure cases. (I come from industry, so I'm definitely an academic heretic, lol) @rickf @JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand Honestly, Anita Sarkesian did more for media criticism than a dozen books. She made it accessible. I aspire to that kind impact. (That is NOT to downplay the absolute hell that a bunch of whiny little misogynist manchildren put her through.) @orionkidder @rickf @JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand Anita was a scammer who talked a load of pish. Much of her content was fabricated and she pocketed thousands delivering nothing promised for it. There are billions of women in this world deserving more respect than her. She’s a toxic crook. At this point, all of the facts around Sarkesian have been entirely polluted by GamerGate chodes that it's basically impossible to tell what is real and what is bullshit. So I'd be really careful accusing her with stuff "everyone knows". When trolls have been going that overboard on her, you can't trust literally anything. @JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand @JessTheUnstill @kDelta @rickf "Being female on Twitter" was a crime many were found guilty of by a jury of angry misogynists. It's terrifying how one mention from one of those stochastic terrorists can utterly ruin someone's life. @JessTheUnstill @orionkidder @JessTheUnstill @RustyBertrand Doxing ought to be a crime, a form of harassment, maybe? @kDelta @JessTheUnstill @rickf @RustyBertrand She completed all of those videos. They're on her website and accessible on YouTube. They have been for years and years. You're so full of shit. And now I'm going to block you. Bye bye. @kDelta That's a load of shit. If you believe it, you've been duped. If you continue to argue the point, I'm blocking you. @orionkidder If you wonder why people vote for Trump and won’t listen to you when you point out what a ludicrous decision it is, have a look at what I’m replying to. Your thought process is no different. All the best in life, take care 🖖☺️ |
Also, the author is basically the top expert in the world on that specific little tiny branch of knowledge. If they have time, they may even be able to point you at other papers they wrote or their peers wrote that can give you even more information.
